PREPARATION
1. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and remove existing
fixture, including the crossbar.
2. Carefully unpack your new fixture and lay out all the parts on
a clear area. Be careful not to lose any small parts necessary
for installation.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE (FIG. 1)
3. Remove the mounting screw (B) and rubber gasket (C) from
the fixture.
4. Drill holes in the wall aligned with the key holes located in
the mounting back plate, insert the plastic anchor (D).
5. Secure mounting back plate to the junction box using
standard junction box screws that comes with the junction
box, fasten it to the wall using wood screw (E).
Note: (i) Using any other non-original-manufacturer provided
junction box screw may result in safety issue;
(ii) The side of the mounting plate marked “GND” must
face out.
CONNECTING THE WIRES (FIG. 2)
6. Connect the fixture’s wires to junction box wires as shown
in Fig. 2, making sure that all wire connectors (A) are secured.
If your outlet box has a green or bare copper ground wire,
connect the fixture’s ground wire to it. Otherwise, connect the
fixture’s ground wire directly to the back plate using the
green screw provided. After wires are connected, tuck them
carefully inside the junction box.
7. Hook the safety cords to the back plate.
8. Place the fixture over the mounting back plate and secure it
with mounting screws (B) and the rubber gasket (C).
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
9 To prevent moisture from entering the outlet box and causing
a short, use clear caulking (i.e. indoor/outdoor silicone sealant)
to outline the outside of fixture back plate where it meets the
wall. Leave a space at the bottom to allow moisture to escape
(FIG.3).
